Dear {FIRST_NAME},
Welcome to Issue #16 of In The Frame: the Newsletter brought to you by Giles Babbidge Photography.
If you're wondering where I've been, and why you didn't receive a newsletter in the last couple of months, fear not - all is well. I'm busily working away behind the scenes and making some exciting updates (some of which the keener-eyed among you will have already spotted).
These past few months have seen all manner of changes... I have updated my kit (both photographic and IT), set up new social media channels, addressed the matter of branding, recorded fresh audio content... the list goes on! In fact, In The Frame is also due a few tweaks - which you should see in the next edition.
Speaking of which... from now on, ITF will be coming to you bi-monthly. Giving you a quick blast of all the latest news, thoughts and acticvities from the GBP Blog, it is destined for your In-Box at the beginning of July!
But as for right now... here is your round-up of what's been going on throughout February and March.
As ever, I hope you enjoy it - in which case, be sure to give some feedback, along with thoughts, opinions and suggestions!
Blog post: Vobes-Babbidge Pinhole Camera Project: First Tests
Newly commissioned writing 
As many of you know, my time is not spent purely as a photographer; I am also a writer, primarily putting together articles for the outdoor, photography and business markets.
Well, following discussions with a fellow Twitter user, I am pleased to announce that I will now be writing regularly for BritishPages.org - a place for discussion on all manner of things quintessentially British.
Travel troubles 
My first offering (after an introductory preamble) for BritishPages.org.
This is the full-length article, something of a lighthearted rant, detailing a farcical train journey on the Southern UK rail network...
Pinhole progression 
The Vobes-Babbidge Pinhole Camera Project is moving on at a nice pace now, with our latest tests showing definite improvements over the last.
This post contains audio commentaries, discussing the construction of our MK#1 camera, the refinement of out technique and where we go from here.
A valuable resource 
There were some excellent speakers at the Technology For Marketing & Advertising 2010 event; this post shares a resource passed on by one of the event's speakers, Dave Chaffey.
GBP Facebook 
Exciting news - Giles Babbidge Photography now has an official Facebook page! It's another great way to network and for you keep track of my activities.
Traditional trading 
An article posing the question: Is the traditional British shopkeeper a dying breed?
An exhibition... but not mine 
My good lady has an exhibition running in Bethnal Green, London, until the end of April. This quick post highlights it and the set-up process, including photography.
Still tweeting 
With my social networking activities growing day-by-day, I am connecting more and more with people on Twitter.
